03-15-19 Friday

I1 (Iteration One of DOG's festival screener) completed, sent to Festival de Cannes as a work in progress. I1 was an absolute mess, half the film was missing. Is there enough magic peeking through to entice the jurors? What if DOG's completion process was not only transparent but easily accessed? How could why.movie be tweaked to provide this? How would this help and enliven the director?
